"Is that what Curtis bought you for your birthday? I can’t accept that.
"It's just a piece of emerald. Old Master Lake, don’t take it to heart. Everyone in Ocean City knows you
like antiques and paintings. I won't take away what you love.
"I won't take Moon Lake Painting."
Mr. Winters waved his hand and said with a smile.
Kennedy froze slightly, looking a little anxious as if he wanted to say something, but Mr. Winters
interrupted him with a wave.
Kennedy said nothing more.
With Mr. Winters' position, he could get anything he wanted.
That imperial emerald and the Moon Lake Painting were precious to everyone else, but it was nothing
much to Mr. Winters.
"The patriarch of the Willard family, Chester Willard, presents an emerald pendant and a pair of
bracelets to Old Master Lake, wishing him happiness and a long life!
"The chairman of Tiara Group, Benjamin Settler, presents a pair of antique vases for Old Master Lake,
wishing him a long life!
"The patriarch of the Xavier family, Clifford Xavier, presents
a painting to Old Master Lake, wishing him a long and healthy life!"
One of the Lake family’s servants announced each of Kennedy's birthday gifts and congratulatory
messages given by Ocean City’s dignitaries.
Although there was no mention of the value of these birthday gifts, everyone knew none of them were
cheap.
The status and power of the Lake family and the guests of the 50th birthday banquet were obvious, so
there were no inferior birthday gifts.
The birthday gifts represented the giver's attitude toward the Lake family as well as their pride.
"Gosh, I've seen the emerald pendant Mr. Willard gave at an auction. It was sold for five million dollars,
but it was given to Old Master Lake as a birthday gift today.
"Not just the emerald pendant, the bracelets were auctioned for three million. These three things are
worth eight million dollars! Mr. Willard is generous!"
"Haha, look at how close the Willard family is with the Lake family these years. The Willard family hasnovelbin
made a lot of money over the years with the Lake family's help!"
"The Willard family aside. The painting the Xavier family gave is also worth a lot of money. It seems the
Xavier family also intends to get closer to the Lake family!"
There was a flurry of discussion with some adulation and speculation.
The Lake family was at the summit of their power, almost securing their status as the top family in
Ocean City. It was no wonder that many people wanted to get close to the Lake family, so they could
profit from it.
"Michael Carver presents a coffin to Old Master Lake!"
"Theodore Davis presents a coffin to Old Master Lake!"
"Jadon Quartz presents a coffin to Old Master Lake!"
"The chairman of Optimus Security Services, Sean Lennon, presents a coffin to Old Master Lake!"
"We wish Old Master Lake a long life!"
As the crowd discussed, a series of voices came from outside Lake Residence's courtyard, shaking
everyone's eardrums.
Michael Carver, Theodore Davis, and Jadon Quartz were famous in Ocean City.
The three came together not to congratulate but to send coffins.
Outshone by these three people's influence, the chairman of Optimus Security Services, Sean, who
was in last place, did not surprise too many people.
After all, Sean had only been in Ocean City for a short time and not to the extent that all of Ocean
City's dignitaries knew him.
"F*ck! The head of the Carver family, the head of the Davis family, the head of the Quartz family, and
the chairman of Optimus Security Services presented coffins for Old Master Lake!"
Someone exclaimed before immediately coming to their senses and covering their mouth.
